Many Working Women Declare
They Would Rather Stay Home
Gay Pauley
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York U.R) The num
ber of wives holding jobs out
side the home is at a new high.
But one study
released today
indicates
many of them
would rather
stay home,
"I want to
stay home, eat
bonbons and
watch TV,
was the way.
one woman
stated her preference.
Only last week end, the U.S.
Census Bureau reported more
and more women are going to
work to help their husbands
meet the increased cost of liv
ing that the number of work
ing wives increased by five
million between April 1947 and
March, 1937, to a record 12
million, 300-thousand.
Hard on the heels of the gov
ernment report comes one from
the Young Women's Christian
association, showing that mar
riage and family is the status
most American women prefer.
This was the majority answer
from 8,000 women, 12 years of
age and older, to a question
naire the YWCA sent its mem
bers as part of its 102nd anni
versary celebration.
The organization asked opin
ion on jobs, marriage, children,
whether the women were happy
"as is," and what preparation
they might have had for a fuller
life.
Plenty of Answers
Of the answers which came in
from 29 states, 3,258 homemak
erg said they did not hold out
side jobs. Some 2,500 did. And,
another 1,655 most of them
single and in the 12 to 18-year-old
group were still in school.
More than half the 8,000 were
married, and most of them had
children.
Sixty eight per cent of the
total said "yes" to the basic
question: "Are you satisfied with
your present role as a woman in
today's world?"
But when the questionnaire
gave the unhappy ones a chance
to list their preferences, that
reluctance to work showed.
In the 12 to 18 group, 248
said they wanted marriage, fam
ily and no outside job. Only 81
wanted work as part of their
future.
"I am a woman and feel that
is my vocation," said one teen
ager. The Simple Things
Said another: "I'd like to be
married to a millionaire."
The YMCA said that the 19 to
35 age group "also went in
favor of marriage and children
without employment." Only 216
said they'd like an outside job.
"Woman's life is a dog's life.
Slavery . . . slavery . . . slavery,"
said one woman.
"I'd settle for one boss a
husband," said another.
Most of the 3,500 women in
the over-35 group said they
were quite happy with their
present life. But of the malcon
tents, 290 said they wanted fam
ily and no outside job. Another
42 thought a job should go
along with the home and mar
riage. JAy favorite comment in the
study came in the "Wish I Had
Had More Preparation For Life"
department. Said one young
lady: "I wish my mother had
told me how to catch a man."
